New Cuisine Coming

Feeling better today, I did a couple of errands downtown and photographed this nascent business, thinking it would make a quick blip.

There really is no such thing as a quick blip, of course, because I started researching Peruvian cuisine online, knowing nothing about it except that they eat a lot of potatoes and enjoy fried guinea pigs, neither of which sounded appealing.

Unable to resist the detail that Wikipedia offered, I learned that Peruvians consume an estimated 65 million guinea pigs each year, and they are most popular in the Andean highlands.

In another reference, I learned that a sanguercheria is a Peruvian shop known for large sandwiches. As long as there's no guinea pig sandwich at Cafe Rumba, I'm likely to enjoy expanding my gustatory experiences there.
